Beekeeping Association.
SEMBA offers a nucleus
colony at the conclusion
of the course, and instead
of waiting until next sea-
son, he accepted a colony
for his own first hive.
But Demeter had no
place to put his hive.
So he asked Gordon
if he could possibly put
his hive in the garden
operated by Yad Ezra.
Gordon eagerly agreed.
It amounts to a win-win
situation. Demeter has an
ideal location for his new
hobby, and the garden
benefits from the work of
thousands of busy little
pollinators.
Gordon extolls the edu-
cational effect of bees at
Giving Gardens: “People
love to see bees. People
who fear bees overcome
their fear by seeing bees
at work and learning about
what bees do for us.”
crops — so beekeepers keep
moving their hives. They are
on the road all the time.
Letvin moved back to
Michigan along with his
wife and purchased a bee-
keeping business from a
widow who was retiring. Her
operation involved at least
250 hives. She won awards
for the quality of her work,
and she taught him a great
deal. In Michigan, different
plants flower in succession all
spring, summer and fall, so a
beehive can stay put.
In late spring or early fall,
beekeepers open the hives
and check if their bees have
enough for the coming winter.
According to Letvin, a healthy
hive has between 20,000-
50,000 thousand bees. The hive
consumes about 300 pounds of
honey each year. The beekeep-
er can collect the excess honey,
sometimes as much as 100
pounds per hive.
Letvin continues to raise bees,
but now just as a hobby. When
his hives produce well, in a good
year (like this promises to be),
he has honey to give to a long
list of friends and to Yad Ezra.
If there is even more honey,
he sends it to a fruit stand that
can sell as much honey as his
bees can produce.
A Beekeeper’s Advice
for Buying Honey
Bee honey, famously, has an infinite
shelf life. Honey buried with the Pharaohs,
unearthed by archeologists in the 20th century,
remained edible. However, it does crystalize. As
a supersaturated solution, it tends to form crystals
of sugar. You can easily restore it to its liquid state
by heating it; however, to save you the inconvenience,
large-scale commercial honey producers process
the honey until it will not crystalize. That processing
removes much of the flavor and perhaps much of
medical benefits of pure honey. People who want
real honey buy directly from the beekeeper or
from small-scale producers, who carefully limit
how much they heat and
process the raw honey.
